“Old Frisbees, tires, plastic sheeting, it's amazing the kind of stuff you find down here," volunteer Bob Wuerdeman said of what he collected.

Thousands of volunteers, not just in Ohio, but across the country, lined 3,000 miles of Ohio River shoreline in eight states to help clean it up.

“I like cleaning up the environment, that way it looks nice. And also for the wildlife, because I mean, they live here to,” said volunteer Aniela Lehmkuhl. “It makes the experience of being in the outdoors so much better when you don't have to deal with litter and trash and all those kinds of things.”
